The crazy daily life of the mistress

He stood there blankly, watching the people around him enter the city one by one, his heart filled with despair.

The guard urged relentlessly: "Hurry up and make a decision! Either pay the money or keep the rabbit!"

Zhan Shixuan's lips were trembling violently, and he acted as if he was really unwilling to lose his beloved rabbit, but he was helpless.

Finally, he handed over the rabbit with a look of reluctance.

The guard had a smug look on his face and was about to take the rabbit.

At this time, an old man suddenly said, "Good man, sell me your rabbit. I'll give you twenty coins."

Twenty cents, although much less than the price of the rabbit itself, is much better than paying a penny to the guard.

Zhan Shixuan secretly sighed in his heart, people’s hearts have really changed!

He said with difficulty: "But my father said that this rabbit will be sold for eighty cents each. Moreover, it was two cents the day before yesterday. Why is it three cents today?"

The old man said, "It seems that you rarely go into the city. I don't know that the price of entering the city fluctuates from time to time. If the price is high, it means that it is still safe. If the price is low, you should just stay at home."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhan Shixuan handed the rabbit to the old man respectfully, like a respectful student, and said, "Okay, thank you for answering my questions. I'll sell you the rabbit."

The guard's face was filled with anger and he was feeling indignant. He saw that the rabbit that was about to be caught was intercepted by this old man halfway.

However, as a guard, even if he wanted to oppress the people, he couldn't be too unscrupulous.

He could only frown and roar at Zhan Shixuan viciously like a ferocious monster: "If you don't want to go into the city, get out of here!" Zhan Shixuan didn't want to argue with them, so he stood aside obediently.

The old man took out the money for entering the city, and then said: "Here is thirty-three cents, for the ten of us, plus the money for this hero." After taking the silver, the guard waved his hand to let them enter the city.

As soon as they entered the city, Zhan Shixuan handed the rabbit to the old man. The old man also took out a few copper coins from his bag and handed them to Zhan Shixuan.

Zhan Shixuan carefully took the copper coins, counted them carefully one by one, and then returned the three cents.

The old man said quickly, "This rabbit is too cheap at twenty cents. You don't need to pay the three cents."

Zhan Shixuan replied seriously, "It's my business to sell the rabbit cheaply. We agreed on 20 cents. How can I charge you more?"

His eyes were firm and sincere, as if telling the old man that his decision was unshakable.

After saying this, he stuffed the three cents back into the old man's hand without hesitation, then resolutely turned around and left.

His steps were firm and powerful, and there seemed to be no hesitation or lingering feelings at all.

After a while, Zhan Shixuan's figure gradually disappeared in the bustling crowd.

At this time, a young girl wearing a veil came forward from behind the old man. She followed the direction where Zhan Shixuan disappeared and said thoughtfully, "Grandfather, this person doesn't look like an ordinary person at all."

There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in the girl's voice, and she seemed surprised by Zhan Shixuan's behavior.

The old man turned around and looked at his granddaughter with a loving smile on his face. He gently stroked her hair, smiled, and said, "Yuer can also read fortunes now?"

The girl coquettishly grabbed her grandfather's arm, shook it and said, "Grandpa, you are making fun of me again!"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, but more of it was the intimacy and coquettishness between her and her grandfather.

The old man laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go back quickly. Your grandmother will start to nag us."

His eyes were full of love for his granddaughter.

The grandparents supported each other and slowly left the city gate.

Their servants followed behind them.

"Grandfather, I think that man was not surprised when he heard about the change in the entrance fee, which means he already knew about it. Also, he could have argued with reason, but he chose to keep quiet, which is not like an ordinary hunter."

The girl said as she observed her grandfather's expression.

The old man nodded approvingly: "Yuer has observed very carefully. This person is indeed not like an ordinary person. His words and actions are quite methodical. I guess he has seen some of the world. Haha, interesting. When we meet again some other day, I will definitely make friends with him."

The grandfather and grandson walked towards home while talking.

On the way, the girl was still thinking about what had just happened, and her heart was full of curiosity about the mysterious young man.
